Abu Dhabi Plan 2030

Abu Dhabi Plan 2030

Abu Dhabi is destined for significant growth in the coming years. To ensure this growth is sustainable and benefits all Abu Dhabi residents and businesses, the Urban Planning Council, in 2007, published Plan Abu Dhabi 2030.

The plan is designed to help Abu Dhabi respond to current and future development needs, establish a planning culture, and introduce strong guiding principles for new development.

It provides a sustainable foundation for Abu Dhabi's growth, taking into account building heights, land use, density and many urban development related issues.

As an Abu Dhabi based company, Sorouh actively supports Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 and its promotion of traditional UAE culture by incorporating principles that complement the strategic vision of the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council.

Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 is founded on five overarching principles that guide all development efforts:

  • Abu Dhabi will be a contemporary expression of an Arab city where people live and thrive in healthy and mutually beneficial proximity.
  • Abu Dhabi will continue its practice of measured growth, reflecting a sustainable economy.
  • Abu Dhabi will respect and be shaped by the natural environment and its sensitive coastal and desert ecologies.
  • Abu Dhabi will manifest its role and stature as a capital city.
  • Abu Dhabi's urban fabric and community infrastructure will enhance and promote the values, social fabric and culture of its Arab community.
